Chapter 120: The Old Past

There are no children under the knees in the court, and it hurts to the bones for this little niece, Butong knows that he can't explain it, and he is his uncle in front of him, and there is nothing to hide, so he hurriedly asked a delicate daughter salute, and coquettishly stepped forward to grab the arm in the court,

"Uncle knows the past, is he willing to solve Tong'er's doubts?"

Bu Tingzhong smiled and smacked his lips, "Your little daughter's family, how can you be curious about things so far away." ”

Although he said disgusting words, Bu Tingzhong still motioned to the two of them, "Follow me." ”

There is a small attic on the east side of the backyard of the Xiguo Mansion, the carved beams and paintings are very delicate but only supported by long columns, and the place where you want to come without sheltering from the wind and rain is also idle for the whole winter.

"Look at my place, which has been put in order for many years by the family, and it is a place where the whole garden is in view, and it is the most secluded and suitable for talking."

Bu Tong smiled when he heard this,

"Uncle's treasure land can't be wrong, but now we also know about this paradise."

"Haha" laughed in the courtyard, "If you like it, you will often come and take it away." ”

……

The location of the attic was already higher, and the three of them walked up to the second floor, and their vision suddenly widened a lot, this place is really a good place, exquisite and rich, the scenery is excellent, and there is no need to worry about people stealing ears on the side, it is indeed a good location.

Refreshments had already been prepared on the table in the center of the second floor, and Tang Xuanlin bowed his head,

"Uncle is ready."

The two of them sat down in the courtyard, "Haha, where do I have such magical powers, but since I know that you are coming, I plan to come here to talk, we will be a family sooner or later, and we must be familiar with harmony." ”

"That's it," Mrs. Peng came from behind the screen with a small stove, "Lord Tang is too careful, it's also me, this back hall woman wants to see the adult, it's always inconvenient for the woman to be in the house on weekdays, today I took this opportunity to personally make some snacks and refreshments, to entertain the adults here, and I hope that Lord Tang will not dislike it." ”

Tang Xuanlin bowed generously and gently,

"If you've seen your aunt, you don't have to be so polite, just call the juniors by name, and you don't need to mention any 'adults'."

Mrs. Peng is a little heroic, much tougher than Mrs. Qi and the others, and she is not very polite when she hears the words, but she just said, "Xuanlin is really a good son who is informal, how about sitting down and trying my aunt's craftsmanship?" ”

Butong on the side had already reached out and took the walnut crisp into his mouth, "It's delicious." ”

"This little gluttonous cat," Mrs. Peng was even more happy when she saw this.

Seeing everyone sitting down in the courtyard, he touched his beard, "Tong'er, uncle knows why you suddenly became interested in the affairs of the Liu family, and the third highness came to the door to ask for marriage, your father told me a few days ago, but he was angry." ”

Bu Tongxin screamed badly, looked up and looked, and sure enough, Tang Xuanlin paused when he brought the teacup to his mouth.

Hurriedly prevaricate the past,

"Uncle, my father and mother refused to do this from the beginning, so don't mention it again. I just heard that there were many rumors about the Liu family, and it happened that His Royal Highness had stayed in Kyoto for a long time, so I was also a little curious. ”

Lieutenant General Bu Ting nodded suspiciously, "If you want to talk about the Liu family, it can be regarded as a place where a few of us study and apprentice, the sons of the former famous families all studied in the Liu Mansion, me and your father, mother, two aunts, as well as the eldest brother of the Bai family, Liu Guifei...... Even today's Your Majesty, those are all Xueyou. ”

Bu Tong suddenly felt that the repetitive picture seemed to be repeated, "Is it like our brother and sister studying with several princes at Lin Xiangguo's place?" ”

Bu Tingzhong nodded, "It's the same, after the class was over, after His Majesty's wedding, Concubine Liu entered the palace, I went to Jiangnan, and when I came back, the eldest brother of the Bai family went to the border, and the Liu family rebelled and destroyed the door, leaving only Concubine Liu with the three princes who were still in infancy. ”

This story is very stiff, so stiff that there is almost no content, Bu Tong frowned, "This ......"

"What do you know," Madame Peng interrupted the court, "I was still in the boudoir at the time, and I still know more, the Liu family originally supported not our Majesty, but another prince, and later Your Majesty ascended the throne, and within a few years of full wings, he was the first to eradicate the Liu family's thorn in the eye." ”

Butong gasped,

"But the Liu family has already married their daughter to His Majesty, so they won't let go of their father-in-law for the sake of settling accounts after the autumn?"

There was also a trace of doubt in the court, "If you want to say that the Liu family back then had already announced that they were going to resign and return to their hometown, but I heard that someone suddenly found out the letters exchanged with the barbarians in the northwest, intending to subvert it, which caused the disaster of annihilation." ”

Bu Tong couldn't help but sigh,

"If Your Majesty trusts this mentor and father-in-law, he will not convict a major crime of rebellion because of some so-called 'evidence' that can be falsified."

It will naturally not be simple to be able to sit on the position of the Ninety-Five Supreme, this majesty seems to be kind and gentle, but in his bones he is the same as Mu Hequan, eliminating the so-called "hidden dangers" without mercy, and it is really his own father and son.

Mrs. Peng sighed, "It's a pity that Sister Liu, such a beautiful and kind person, is famous in Kyoto." ”

Tang Xuanlin drank tea silently and added water to everyone, but Bu Tong felt that he seemed to be in a heavy mood, thinking that he had just heard Bu Tingzhong talk about the three princes' courtship.

Bu Tong thought about appeasing him later, and then changed the topic again, trying to liven up the atmosphere.

"Then such a talented and beautiful character finally married His Majesty as a concubine, my uncle loves my aunt, and my father married my mother, it doesn't seem to be very good."

Mrs. Peng smiled, but this time there was a little more sadness in her smile, "Either everyone in the world says 'red face and bad water', why haven't you fought it?" At that time, the prince supported by the Liu family was vying with His Majesty today. ”

Bu Ting looked at his wife and smiled, "If you want to say that your lady in the backyard has long ears, we can't hide anything from you in the school." ”

Butong nodded,

"It seems that our Majesty is still slightly superior, right?"

Bu Tingzhong shook his head, "I didn't pay attention to these at the time, I only know that my second brother can only see the little sister of the Qi family in his eyes, and he doesn't seem to pay any special attention to Liu Guifei." ”

"Isn't that right?" Bu Tong scratched his head,

"But Tong'er always felt that her father had some prejudices against Concubine Liu, and she didn't seem to be very friendly."

Bu Tingzhong and Mrs. Peng looked at each other, and they both shook their heads, "This is strange, the second brother has always been a respectful and easy-going person, and he will never give anyone a face, let alone a friend back then, His Majesty's concubine." ”

What is at stake in this, I'm afraid only the parties know.

Bu Tong lowered his head and took a sip of tea, stretched out a handbag to fill it, looked up, and was crashing into Tang Xuanlin's inky black eyes.

Not far away, there were suddenly two long whistles, Bu Tong was puzzled, but Mrs. Peng suddenly got up, "I'm afraid that there is a distinguished guest in front of me, master, let's go and have a look." ”

Bu Tingzhong's brows furrowed slightly for a moment, "At this time, the banquet has just arrived, how can you be such a distinguished guest who does not understand the rules." ”

Although the two of them didn't want their leisure time to be broken, they were forced to get up and go to the front hall first, leaving only the two of them to sit for a while.

Bu Tong looked at the person opposite for a long time, Tang Xuanlin didn't take the initiative to take care of himself, and hurriedly flattered the pot to add water to him.

"Xuanlin, don't be angry, it's a matter of no beginning and no end, and besides, my father resolutely refused on the spot, I was afraid that you wouldn't mind, so I didn't mention it."

Tang Xuanlin raised his thick eyebrows on one side,

"Oh? When the lord of the court matches His Royal Highness, it is also reasonable, why has it become a matter of no beginning and no tail, not enough to come to the next road? ”

Bu Tong smiled stupidly, extremely attentive,

"Who said that? Father already knew that Tong'er had a heart, and besides, the three highnesses were somewhat misacting, and his father was the most upright person, how could he allow ......"

Bu Tong told Tang Xuanlin in detail about that day, and finally added busily,

"Father and mother saw through his trick at a glance and sternly refused to send him away."

Tang Xuanlin was as calm as the deep sea under the moonlight, and he didn't make Butong feel comfortable at all, but was very uneasy.

After a while, Tang Xuanlin opened his mouth leisurely,

"This Third Highness, I'm afraid that there is indeed someone behind him who is helping, but he just lacks some means, and it seems that this person also doesn't understand this trick of playing with people's hearts."

Butong spreads his hands,

"But you see, His Royal Highness's mother's relatives died early, and he has been away from Beijing for many years, and there are many thousand-year-old goblins in Kyoto City, how can he have a relationship with anyone."

Tang Xuanlin pondered for a moment,

"It's not that I got in touch after returning to Beijing, I'm afraid that because someone picked it up, His Royal Highness returned to Beijing and stayed until now."

The moment the two looked up at each other, "Lie Zhanhu." ”

Now in the city of Kyoto, there are quite a few people who can be involved with the people in the army, and he is the only one, I am afraid that this tiger hunting general has commanded such an unsociable person to do many inexplicable things at the moment.

Butong smiled helplessly,

"The style of doing things is quite the style of a general."

In this way, the atmosphere eased a little, and Butong waited left and right and didn't expect to come back in the courtyard, shouting high and shouting the little guy passing by,

"Where is the Lord of the West Kingdom?"

The little guy hurriedly put his hand to his mouth and replied in the shape of a trumpet, "Go back to the county lord and mother, the lord is in the front hall to entertain guests." ”

Bu Tong then asked,

"Which guest?"

The little servant replied, "The Third Highness, the Fourth Highness, and the Lie General in the Imperial City." ”

Bu Tong's eyes widened suddenly, and he waved his hand to let him get busy, and then he looked back at Tang Xuanlin and couldn't cry or laugh.

"Now, the heroes of the story are all here."
